If You Say You Love Me (an apologetic poem)

[JEG325]

So, if you say you love me, why do I cry? / And if you say you love me, I'll ask you why....I greet the brand new day with a million tears....Emotions running deep from all my fears...You tell me that you love me and then walk away....Leaving me to bleed, without a word to say....So, if you say you love me, why do I cry? / And if you say you love me, I'll ask you why.....A fire that once blazed is slowly dying out....Flickering in the winds from a million doubts....But we can have it all like we did before....Start over again and find forever more....'Cause if you say you love me, I will try again / To find my way back to where love begins....And if you say you love me I will stay for you / To give you my heart for a whole life through!--------[I have a very strong personality sometimes and I tend to try and run roughshod over other friends in my life. Especially when I don't feel good or when I feel really good. I apologize to anyone out here that I may have offended with my strong words and/or opinions. I especially apologize to my best friend and she knows who she is. I wrote this from a woman's perspective for the first 3/4ths of the poem, with the last 1/4th as the guys response. As usual psycho analyze away!]

I’m currently going through a possible break up and I’m sad about it. I’ve been with him for seven years. We’re not on the same page and it’s definitely straining our relationship. This is not how I want us to be. I’m conflicted about fighting for us or letting him go. The latter terrifies me.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I tend to be very pushy sometimes and to refuse advice from even my closest friends. My lady friend was hurt badly by that attitude. So, I need to learn to rein it in when I'm in a feisty bad mood or a feisty good mood. Among my friends I'm known for being a calm, supportive and loving person. I have nearly ran myself into the ground trying to help people out here, for instance. But lately, I've been downright cranky at times. I don't want to drive away anyone, especially my lady friend. So I wrote the poem to express both her feelings and my feelings. It's sort of intended as possible song lyrics too. Anyway, I wish you luck. 7 years is a long time to suddenly lose someone. I am sending you 750 kazillion comforting hugs to make you feel better. Hang in there, my friend!

It’s awesome you recognize yourself. Not many people do. We can always improve ourselves. I hope the best for you and your girl. Love is all you need! Thanks for your support. I send it all right back to you.💕

Who is pyscho?

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

I'm not sure I follow you there....

[Hidden]

Omg..I haven't got a name of "pyscho" have I?

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

Not that I know of. The poem was about me and a lady friend. I'm still not sure what you're driving at. But, I never call anyone names. Okay?
